yeah it's a good system for long runs, would be nice if it heated it after the fuel tank and it would pretty much run anything lol

reading up on the mineral oil burners in the us most of them say heat it to 70c/160f and an older diesel engine will run it for a good 50k with no issues as long as the filter is changed regularly bit of a mission but if you fancy reading up on a discussion about it - Can used engine oil be...

yeah thats true :/ didn't know about the army thing interesting!

yeah i see what you mean, however what if there were just as severe consequences for using atf as there is red diesel, and that is why it's got the same chemical markers? i'd be really interested to see what comes of truckers' inquiry i'd say there's a very fine line between what is acceptable...

then maybe it's that, that is in the atf like i say nothing concrete just something i saw on a thread, i thought part of the "dipping" process was checking for permanently dyed components like fuel filter and stuff?

unfortunately that would be too easy, the fuel duty and vat are both charged, the amount of money they make from fuel is colossal - The government revenue from Fuel Duty was £25.894 billion in 2009, with a further £3.884 billion being raised from the VAT on the duty and they say there...

i'm not sure what the law is on the mineral oil but i know for a fact kerosene isn't allowed to be used as fuel, so it is well worth checking what you can and can't use, and yeah petrol is allowed as it's a duty paid fuel heres the link for people interested - vegetableoildiesel.co.uk - LEGAL...

i've got the jist of it mate he changed his brakes to different sizes either side of the car..... hmmm wonder why he crashed what the **** has that got to do with heating vegetable oil to 90 degrees C?

lol i've had two crashes (both not my fault) and got away with several things undeclared, you'd need a land rover expert of some sort to realise the fuel tank in'st the right material and it's cell you retard

it's not bull**** it's ****ing fact you prick, and if i had time to read about some bloke making his car a death trap i'm sure somewhere there would be an easy hole to pick in why his car blew up or crashed or whatever but i'm talking about controlled cooling which is what land rover themselves...

first off i think you'll find i pointed out i wasn't too familiar with the td5 engine, i'm not bored at all i have very little spare time in my life in fact but i saw something that i didn't agree with and commented on it, from experience of my own, i don't think i even addressed you in any...

vegetable oil doesn't leave a thick white scum or every chip fryer in the world would have it sitting somewhere inside it, the reason for making it into bio diesel (titration) is to remove polymerizing agents which create a plastic type coating on cylinders etc and it's been found that by...

i know what a fuel heater does......... if you'd have bothered to keep up with the rest of the thread charlesy has said about 3 times the td5 heats up the fuel to 70c after the cooler which i am saying is nearly enough heat to make it thin enough to run without any thinning agents, if you could...

because it's already on the car? why would you heat up fuel then cool it down then reheat it? also i have no idea who the supplier of makros is but i'd imagine they would want a bulk order

also thinking about it.......... with the engine heating up the fuel to that temp surely it's viscosity is severely reduced anyway almost eradicating the need for petrol in the first place? though i think the temp needs to be about 95c + to get it towards diesel viscosity, then again you could...
